Beyond the boundaries of established science an avalanche of exotic ideas compete for our attention. Experts tell us that these ideas should not be permitted to take up the time of working scientists, and for the most part they are surely correct. But what about the gems in the rubble pile? By what ground-rules might we bring extraordinary new possibilities to light?

Resonance at THz frequencies 'unzips' DNA. I wonder if our whole organism doesn't rely on internally produced THz waves for many of its biological processes?

Alexandrov and co have created a model to investigate how THz fields interact with double-stranded DNA and what they've found is remarkable. They say that although the forces generated are tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. That's a jaw dropping conclusion.

Not much is known of the Tuatha de Danaan prior to their invasion of Ireland, other than that they came from four northern cities, Falias, Glorias, Murias and Finias, where they acquired their occult skills and attributes. On arriving in Ireland, on or about May 1, some accounts state that they burned their boats behind them to prevent themselves from being tempted to return; the Book of Invasions states that they wafted in through the air as a host of spirits. Other sources state that they came from the west (Atlantic Ocean) on clouds.

The Dananns left Atlantis to settle in Asia Minor (now Turkey), Greece and the islands of Aegean. tunnels you will find that thirty six underground cities have been discovered so far in Cappadocia with some going down eight levels

Danaans are what are biblically known as the Tribe of Dan. The name Danaans derived from their serpent Moon goddess, Dana or Diana. The Danaans made the headquarters of their serpent worshipping culture on the island of Rhodes, a name that originates from a Syrian word for serpent.. Rhodes was the home of the Danaan brotherhood of initiates and magicians known as the Telchines.

The Greek historian, Diodorus, said these initiates had the ability to heal, change the weather, and 'shape-shift' into any form. (The name Rhodes, which is connected to the German "Rot", meaning red, as with Rothschild (Red-Shield) became a code name for the bloodlines. Malta , too, was an important center in 3500 B.C. and the home of a major Mystery School. Under Malta is a vast network of tunnels and megalithic temples where secret rituals took place and still do today. Malta's original name was Lato, named after Mother Lato, the serpent goddess.

The Knights Templar secret society was formed in the late 11th century to protect the reptilian bloodline or 'Le Serpent rouge ' the red serpent or serpent blood, together with their associated order, the highly secretive Priory of Sion. The goals of the Knights Templar and the Illuminati were then and are today to place these serpent bloodlines in all positions of power worldwide and thus form a reptilian centrally controlled one world government.

The Danaans also settled on Cyprus and in ancient times it was known as Ia-Dan or the "Isle of Dan". The name of the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, a place so important to the Druids, has the same origin. The Tauras Mountains in Turkey, the Baleric Islands and Syria were other Danaan settlements and they traveled from Atlantis to Britian where they became known as Tuatha de Danaan or the "People of the Sea". These carried the Anunnaki bloodlines.

The female Amazons were another branch of the Hesperides or Hespera, a name for Atlantis. They, too, followed the goddess Athene or Nieth and venerated her symbol, the double-headed axe. They founded shrines to the serpent goddess in many places, including the famous centre for Diana worship at Ephesus and other locations along the Turkish coast. The 'Canaanites' also descended from Atlantis/Lemuria. Mark Amaru Pinkham describes the migration of Atlanteans to 'Canaan' in the Return of the Serpents of Wisdom.

c.300 B.C.-432 A.D. - A new group of Others arrives on Earth - an aristocratic race of scientists, poets and builders fleeing their own home. This group is mythologically known as the Sidhe, Faylinn, Dei Terreni, and Tuatha De Danaan. This race finds a fertile, isolated island (Eire, or modern Ireland) and makes it their own. They take the tribes living there under their protection and teach them their secrets of art, architecture and mathematics.

The essence of Danaan science stems from music - the controlled manipulation of sound waves - and this becomes recorded in legend as the "music of the spheres." When the Annunaki return to reclaim their world and their slaves, they are few in number and begin to turn humans against the Danaan, by filling them with jealousy and fear. Mankind becomes embroiled in the conflict between the Annunaki and the Danaan - a conflagration extending even to the outer planets of the solar system (which is immortalized and disguised as a war in heaven).

Finally, when it appears that Earth and even Eire is threatened with devastation, the war abates under terms. A pact is struck, whereby the two races intermingle to create a new one, to serve as a bridge (the first Archons). Direct communication between humanity and the Annunaki and the Danaan continues, but is severely curtailed. Both races retreat into invisible realms, demonized by various religions, and diminished in stature by various myths. A Danaan colony from Earth settles on Mars, observing the terms of the truce wherein both races agreed to leave Earth. Enlil - the last of the Annunaki, and one of the original architects of man - refuses to go quietly into the other realms. Determined to use the hybrid race to spread his beliefs, Enlil makes his base in Ireland, the former kingdom of the Danaan. Having broken the pact, none of his own race come to his aid, and he is vanquished by Patrick.

Every now and then there is a "glitch in the Matrix" - and someone in a position of influence lets the curtain drop, and reveals insider secrets.

Three years ago, one of our clients alerted us to a stunning Rush Limbaugh broadcast that aired on March 4, 2004. Had this been covered by the mainstream media and discussed with any seriousness, it could well have pierced the veil of UFO secrecy and led to some form of open disclosure.

Overall, this may well be an Illuminati insider revealing some of their deepest secrets - including the total obsession with the bloodlines of the elite, a subject invariably brought up by every single whistleblower you find - and his bosses were NOT laughing. No indication was given on the webpage, or in the broadcast, of it ever being a joke, as you'll see for yourself - and it was not April Fool's Day.

When we first heard this astonishing broadcast, and read the transcript, we were really in a bind as to whether we should disclose it or not. For whatever reason, we decided not to. Such has been the case with much of the material you are now reading in "The Revealing".

We've finally decided that now is the time to come forward with this fascinating story. Our contact heard the show when it was first broadcast - apparently he liked to keep an eye on the "loyal opposition" - and he saved a copy of the HTM file from Rush's website on his hard drive. We received this file in an email on March 15, 2004, along with a digital copy of the audio that weighed in at about 1MB.

Hi lizzie, don't know if you are familiar with this guy, but Oil Is Mastery has a piece on Andrew Tomas, who I was not familiar with. It seems he was a 32nd degree Freemason, so perhaps what he postulates has some roots in ancient knowledge. A proponent of a one-world order, but a scientific one.

"Oddly enough, the peoples further back in time had greater scientific knowledge than the nations of later historical periods."

"... the presence of certain scientific knowledge in ancient times cannot be easily accounted for unless it is assumed that the skills and knowledge of the ancients have been drastically underestimated."

"For thousands of years men have experienced the reverses of gravity force. Perhaps the ancients could give us some clue as to how to acquire antigravitation for use in aeronautics and aviation."

After Andrew Tomas asked this man, apparently a misguided member of a serpent cult, if he knew anything about the "Nagas" or the serpent beings, the pagan devotee responded:

"'I am a poor sadhu, I know nothing, sahib. But about twenty years ago my yogi teacher went into the mountain kingdom of the Nagas. Bright lights everywhere, big halls like Taj Mahal... The Nagas have many, many things and machines. They are clever, like Cambridge men, may be more clever, sahib,' the sadhu said with an apologetic smile...

"'Your yogi must have been a Rishi. Don't the Nagas destroy men with their sting?' I asked.

"'Yes, though the Nagas are gods and wish nothing but good to man, they do not like men who have no business near their palaces,' he replied."

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. -Buckminster Fuller

The above is a very interesting source. Why has Lilith been demonized? Why would any references to the "mythological" first wife of Adam matter? Well, it matters if you need to protect your bloodline in order to make it appear that it is the "chosen bloodline." This would be true for both the Hebrew Patriarchs and for the Illuminati.

The slightly “less pure” human-Anunnaki line of Enki-Lilth-Adam: Cain – the Grail bloodline

The even more “impure” human-Anunnaki line of Adam and Eve – the Hebrew patriarchs

The “monstrously corrupted” and ultra-hybridized Anunnaki-human line of Enki-Eve – the Nephilim or the Illuminati

In Gnostic esoteric sources, Lilith left Adam because she refused to assume the subordinate position during sexual intercourse. So “god” (Enki) had to “create" a more subservient wife (Eve) for Adam.

Lilith came from the “pure” Anunnaki bloodline not from a hybrid line as did both Adam and Eve. Cain is the son of Adam and Lilith not the son of Adam and Eve. Thus it would be Cain would have to carry on the lineage of Enki’s Grail bloodline.

In Boyd Rice’s “The Vessel of God”, he claims that the Anakim were the Watchers. They were not the Nephilim in the original meaning of the word, i.e., hybrid monsters. The Anakim are the children of Cain. To me this would seem to indicate they were the “lost tribe of Dan” (the Atlantean survivors) – the direct bloodline of Enki/Lilith/Adam and the true inheritors of the Grail bloodline.

Enki is the Serpent of Wisdom; he was both the creator and the benefactor of humankind. So it would seem to me that the Grail bloodline would most represent his “human/hybrid” bloodline, which would be the line of Cain. Thus Cain would be the “lost tribe or Dan, or the last of the Atlantean survivors.

In the Grail tradition Lucifer is the rebel against authority, or the bearer of wisdom to help mankind. He should not be confused with Satan, the demon of darkness, the true Illuminati god. Yet orthodox religions tell us that Lucifer and Satan are one and the same. All orthodox religions were created by the Illuminati.

The Hebrew patriarchs descended from the less pure hybridized line of Adam and Eve. In order to protect their claims that they are the possessors of a special bloodline, they would have purged their ancient texts of any evidence to indicate that they were not the “elect.”

There is also evidence that Moses was not just a member of Egyptian royalty but that he was the Pharaoh Akhenaten who fled Egypt in order to establish his own monotheistic cult in Palestine.

The Illuminati descended from the third line, the Nephilim – a race of cannibalistic chimerical monsters whom the Annunaki gods tried to eliminate during the Flood.

According to R.A. Boulay, in “Flying Serpents and Dragons”, the “sons of the gods” descended again after the Flood and bred with the “daughters of men” creating another monstrous race called the Rephaim. There is yet another warrior tribe of giants called the Emim. No doubt the Illuminati could be the descendants of all three - the Nephilim, the Rephaim and the Emim.

However, the Illuminati have been involved in a much greater conspiracy. It is they who claim that they are the inheritors of the (Luciferian) Grail bloodline. Quite the opposite is true. They are the inheritors of the Satanic bloodline.

Apparently the Illuminati select their sacrificial victims from people of “Irish” or "Celtic" background – in other words these are the people who supposedly come from the "Grail bloodlines.” The Illuminati cannot exist without cannibalizing certain (but not all) members of the “Grail bloodline. Thus they have to resort to mind control.

I believe the bible was written by man or men precisely. Masons and Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion, like Robert Fludd and King James (Templar). I didn't say that I think these men wrote it themselves, but re-interpreted and edited it in their own way to present us with the modern day versions. This is what I believe.

I am only presenting this in order to show, from my own point of view, how "prophecies" recorded in the bible are coming true because the Masons are going to make it all come true while they usher in their New World Order.

While researching the "Number of the Beast", the author of Illuminati News discovered something rather extraordinary. Basically, he figured out that the computer system, the Internet, is set up to mimic a demonic ceremony in essence. Words that have "other, hidden meanings" are used everyday in computing by programmers and users alike. Words like "Mailer Daemon", "Invocation", "Lilith", "Lilim" "Hekate", and "Host" all have a hidden, sinister, meaning behind why they are used in computing.

It becomes more obvious when they are put together like this, but most people aren't even aware these words are used everyday in computing.

The conspiracy goes something like this, minus the Christian extremism.

First, we'll start with the famous quote from the bible "if anyone worships the beast and its image, or receives a mark on his forehead or in his hand". Have you ever heard of "Information Technology"? Now, this is just the beginning of what people have been calling the "BEAST" system of computers. They have termed the supercomputer in Brussels "The Beast" but now there are even greater supercomputers. Now there is something called "Lilith". Remember the wife of Adam? - Not Eve, but "Lilith". First though, let's take a look at some ads for "IT". Take a look at the design of the Tattoo on the person's back. Look at his face and ask yourself if this isn't the face of the American ideal of the devil.

Now here is a description of "Lilith" from Louisville.edu:

Lilith was created at the same time as Adam and is sometimes referred to as Adam's first wife (see Charles Pellegrino, The Return to Sodom and Gomorrah). She was very beautiful and had a very rebellious nature. It is disputed whether she was cast out of the Garden of Eden by God for some offense or whether she left Eden of her own accord. In one rather interesting story, Adam tried to force her to have sex in the male superior ("missionary position") favored by male dominated, patriarchal cultures; and she refused his domination, sneered at him, cursed him, and flew away (Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets). At any rate, since she left Eden before Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and thus she possessed immortality.

Enlil is reputed to be Jehovah, the god of the HebrewsEnki is seen as Lucifer – the head of the Grail bloodlineNergal and Marduk are “gods of war” and known for their bloodthirstiness; they probably represent the more base Illuminati “reptilian” strain

According to Laurence Gardner , “The dominant tenet of the new thought was based wholly on the utmost fear of Enlil, who was known to have instigated the great Flood [or else acquiesced in not warning the humans, or making any attempt to save them], and to have facilitated the invasion and destruction of civilized Sumer. Here was a deity who spared no mercy for those who did not comply with his dictatorial authority.

“Abraham had experienced the vengeful Enlil first hand at the fall of Ur, and he was not about to take any chances with his own survival. He was even prepared to sacrifice the life of his young son, Isaac, to appease the implacable God (Genesis 32:9).” “The oriental scholar Henri Frankfort summarized the situation by making the point that... ‘Those who served Jehovah must forego the richness, the fulfillment, and the consolation of a life which moves in tune with the great rhythms of the earth and sky.”

Bramley has noted that, “We therefore find Ea [Enki] as the reputed culprit who tried to teach early man (Adam) the way to spiritual freedom. This suggests that Ea intended his creation, Homo sapiens, to be suited for Earth labor, but at some point he changed his mind about using spiritual enslavement as a means.”

From a Biblical perspective, it was Enki who (with the critical assistance of his half-sister, Nin-khursag) created Adam and Eve. It was Enlil, on the other hand, who created “Edin”. Enki was the serpent in the garden, who urged Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (which was infinitely beneficial to their spiritual growth). It was Enlil, who drove them out of Edin, while Enki was there to clothe them. It is worth noting that Zecharia Sitchin claims that the biblical word for “snake” is nahash, which comes from the root word NHSH, and which means “to decipher, to find out.” In other words, Enki, was the God of Wisdom.

One of the most troubling problems for biblical archaeologists was the lack of archaeological evidence for Moses and the Israelites in Egypt. Prior to the Exodus, there were hundreds of thousands of Israelites in Egypt, yet little or no evidence of their existence has been found, even though the sojourn is recorded as lasting for centuries in the Scriptures!

Aaron is an older brother of Moses, a Levite and the first high priest. The Islamic sources have very scant details of Aaron, but from the Bible, we know that Aaron was the eldest son of Amram and Jochebed, a daughter of Levi (Exodus 6:20). Aaron is three years older than Moses but younger than Miriam (Exodus 2:1,4; 7:7).

In ancient times, wisdom was synonymous with power; and power, especially for those who do not possess it, is more often than not perceived to be synonymous with oppression. The Watchers were accused of such when it was written, “Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth; Destroy the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.” In The Book of Enoch, the offspring of the Watchers are described as a race of giants who “devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; when they turned against men in order to devour them.” Why would diverse and widely separated traditions all make the same outrageous claim unless it had some basis in truth? Or more to the point: if it were not true, what are the odds that all these traditions would concoct the same lie?

But in the Watchers we can see an emerging prototype of Satan, the adversary. We can also see a variation on the theme of Original Sin. Just as with Eve and the forbidden fruit, the sin of the Watchers involved a specific combination of infractions, having to do with both disobedience and with knowledge.

What interests us is the persistence of the myth itself: the ongoing story of a race of gods and their descendants, who somehow come to be perceived as Luciferian. Often such figures are associated with water, the sea, or the Flood. At times they are presented as dwellers within the Earth (and often in connection with this, as giants). Some say that the Watchers themselves were imprisoned within the Earth, while The Book of Enoch places great emphasis on the notion that a flood was sent “so that their seed would perish from the Earth.”

Though the true nature of Enoch’s relation to the Watchers is deliberately left out of The Book of Enoch, it becomes self-evident when we examine the Hebrew word for those descended from the Nephilim: the “Anakim.” Just as the word “Elohim” implies the descendants of God, so “Anakim” implies the descendants of Anak – that is to say, the descendants of Enoch.

Not much is known of the Tuatha de Danaan prior to their invasion of Ireland, other than that they came from four northern cities, Falias, Glorias, Murias and Finias, where they acquired their occult skills and attributes. On arriving in Ireland, on or about May 1, some accounts state that they burned their boats behind them to prevent themselves from being tempted to return; the Book of Invasions states that they wafted in through the air as a host of spirits. Other sources state that they came from the west (Atlantic Ocean) on clouds.

Finally, when it appears that Earth and even Eire is threatened with devastation, the war abates under terms. A pact is struck, whereby the two races intermingle to create a new one, to serve as a bridge (the first Archons). Direct communication between humanity and the Annunaki and the Danaan continues, but is severely curtailed. Both races retreat into invisible realms, demonized by various religions, and diminished in stature by various myths. A Danaan colony from Earth settles on Mars, observing the terms of the truce wherein both races agreed to leave Earth. Enlil - the last of the Annunaki, and one of the original architects of man - refuses to go quietly into the other realms. Determined to use the hybrid race to spread his beliefs, Enlil makes his base in Ireland, the former kingdom of the Danaan. Having broken the pact, none of his own race come to his aid, and he is vanquished by Patrick.

Is this how the Satanic reptilian strain co-opted the Grail bloodline in order to claim that they are the “divine bloodline”?

Among the most overtly Luciferian lore relating to the Grail bloodline is the strange saga of Melusine, a woman said to be half-human and half-serpent. Her father was reputedly Godfroi de Bouillon, former King of Jerusalem (or “Defender of the Holy Sepulcher”, as he preferred to be called), and prime mover behind the formation of both the Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar.

It would appear that due to the highly improbable nature of this tale, it has been dismissed entirely by scholars and historians as pure folklore. Yet the members of this family (the Grail family) are no strangers to the adroit implementation of symbolism. Never has their use of symbolism been gratuitous. It is employed to reveal to the initiated precisely what it conceals from the uninitiated.

The imagery associated with Melusine is very specific in its connotations: it refers to the patriarch Adam’s first wife Lillith, who is depicted in cabalistic tradition as a naked human female with a serpent’s tail for her lower half. For us, this suggests that the Merovingians were consciously trying to keep alive an esoteric tradition - one which holds great secrets relating to the true nature of their sacred bloodline.

Conventional wisdom has it that the Grail bloodline is sacred because it came from Christ, a man still considered by much of the world to be the true son of God. And yet the dynasty of kings who descended from this bloodline were known as sorcerer-kings, some of whom hinted or even stated outright that they were in fact descendants of Lucifer.

Firstly, let us recall that this bloodline descended from a figure who equates with the biblical Cain. In certain rabbinic lore, we come across the very interesting notion that Cain was not the son of Adam, but of Samael (Enki). It was thought that when Samael appeared to Eve as a serpent, he seduced her. The fruit of that union was Cain. Samael was a fallen angel, essentially the Judaic Lucifer.

If the Merovingians knew of this version of the story (which they no doubt did), and believed it, it could be the basis of their alleged assertion that they possessed the blood of both Christ and Lucifer.

Some apocryphal versions of the story of Cain proclaim that he was the son of Adam and Lillith, not Eve. Before becoming Adam’s first wife, Lillith had been the consort of God before coming to Earth as a fallen angel. The full details of her story are probably too well-known to bear repeating here, but it is interesting that of the two alternate traditions concerning Cain’s parentage, both involve the Luciferian Nephilim bloodline. Also of interest is the fact that the lily is known to have taken its name from Lillith, and the heraldic device emblematic of this bloodline is the fleur-de-lys. Could not this symbol, viewed within this context, in fact be the Flower of Lillith?

The founder of the Merovingian bloodline is Merovee, a chimerical sea monster. I don’t see that he has anything to do with the real Grail bloodline. The demonic Merovingian strain was inserted into the lineage of Godfroi de Bouillon. Melusine is simply the descendant of the original sea monster, Merovee.

I maintain that there are two “fish-men” involved here: There is the Enki/Oannes serpent of wisdom who is the father and protector of humanity. He represents the Grail bloodline. Then there is the Merovingian Nephalimic Illuminati bloodline that represents Satan, the Great Deceiver. Merovee (Satan) was “inserted” into the Grail bloodline in order for the Illuminati to claim they were the rightful heirs of the “divine bloodline”.

Here is the Key. Notice the “switch.” There are two separate traditions and hence, two different bloodlines: the Grail bloodline of Christ and the Satanic Illuminati bloodline.

The Culdee phenomenon appears to be little known, little discussed, and even less understood. Nonetheless, over the centuries a fascinating number of theories and legends have become attached to them: theories and legends that are all the more fascinating in that they seem to overlap with much of our own research. What follows are some of the fundamental assumptions held about the Culdees, as collected and preserved by Arthur Edward Waite in his New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry:

The Culdees were Druids.They were identical with the Chaldeans mentioned by the prophet Daniel.They were priests in Assyria and can also be traced to Babylon.They were Casideans, Essenes, Therapeutae, and Magi.Beneath their cloak of Christianity they concealed a secret doctrine.They were mathematicians and architects at the time of the early Roman emperors.They were the builders of King Solomon’s Temple.The Culdees of York were all Masons.They denied the personality of Jesus - meaning the historical personality - and also the existence of the Devil.

If the foregoing statements are indeed accurate, it would appear that there was the presence of a Templar-like fraternity in England for a full thousand years before the advent of the Knights Templar. And not just in England, but throughout the British Isles. The Culdees had commandaries, schools and churches in Wales, Ireland and Scotland as well. It is said that despite pressure from Rome, the Culdees remained a very strong presence right up to the time of the Norman conquest5, which began in 1066. The timeframe here seems highly significant, as 1066 is only a few decades before the founding of the Order of Sion and the Knights Templar by Godfroi de Bouillon in 1090.

Is it purely coincidental that an organization whose history spans over a thousand years should essentially vanish, and in a matter of mere decade a group whose outlook seems nearly identical should emerge in another part of the world? Most of what the historians assert about the Culdees is incredibly similar to what was said of the Templars. Let us compare: both groups were said to possess a secret doctrine which they concealed behind the facade of Christianity. Both groups denied Christ in a sense. Both groups were architects. And both groups were associated with the Holy Grail, as well as with Solomon’s Temple.

There definitely seems to be a continuity of belief, purpose and action between the two groups. Certainly the mystery surrounding both groups appears to be the same mystery. But if these two groups represent different manifestations of the same esoteric tradition, it is not simply a tradition whose origin came about after the crucifixion of Christ. The tradition can clearly be traced to the Chaldean King Gudia, and further still to his role model and patron saint, Nimrod/Cain.

The term “Merovingian” is said to derive from Merovee who was King of the Franks from 447-458 A.D. Despite recent claims that the Merovingian Franks were sired by Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, and are therefore “divine,” the legend of King Merovee conceals the true origins of the Merovingian race in remote antiquity. According to the legend, as explained in Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Merovee had two fathers, King Clodion and a strange “beast of the sea.”

This is the idea you will find in the nonfiction works mentioned earlier, that the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene later became the Merovingians. And that idea seems purposely manufactured to mislead. The Merovingians were a French dynasty that sprang to power in the fifth century after Europe was plunged into the Dark Ages by apocalyptic natural disasters. The latter is not well known, but tree ring data from that time suggests severe climate disruptions, written records of which have since been expunged. Far from being a divine bloodline, the Merovingians were of a darker strain whose own legends speak of having been spawned from a sea monster. That myth is part literal, part symbolic, and relates to their covenant with negative hyperdimensional entities, but that’s beyond the scope of this discussion.

It is no secret that the Merovingians are the ancestors of today’s royal bloodlines. This includes the blue bloods of Europe and America who have produced numerous kings, queens, and presidents throughout history. No surprise that they continue the Merovingian tradition of accumulating wealth, power, knowledge, and control. So perhaps now you can see the problem with claiming the Merovingians are descendants of Jesus – it would imply that today’s blue bloods, the elite families who basically run the world, are of a divine bloodline and thus have the “divine right of kings” to rule over us. That is the first deception.

The second deception concerns the following:

“Langdon decided not to shock his students with the fact that more than a dozen secret societies around the world, many of them quite influential, still practiced sex rites and kept the ancient traditions alive. Tom Cruise’s character in the film Eyes Wide Shut discovered this the hard way when he sneaked into a private gathering of ultraelite Manhattanites only to find himself witnessing Hieros Gamos. Sadly, the filmmakers had gotten most of the specifics wrong, but the basic gist was thereÃ¢€”a secret society communing to celebrate the magic of sexual union.” – The Da Vinci Code

Actually, Stanley Kubrick who made Eyes Wide Shut knew what he was doing, and it is this part of The Da Vinci Code that apologetically tries to buffer the truth. Benign sexual rituals that celebrate the creation of life do exist, but what you will find most prevalent among these Merovingian-descendant secret societies are rituals of a spiritually inverted nature involving sexual abuse of children and mind-controlled slaves as well as ritualistic human sacrifice, hardly what one would expect from a divine bloodline.

If Jesus had descendants, if there were indeed a bloodline of light, you would not find these in prominent positions of power interbreeding with each other to keep the bloodline pure. Rather, they would be scattered across the western world, many not knowing who they are until their true destiny is gradually revealed to them, while others who have awoken formed into secret societies of a hidden but positive nature functioning as conscious agents of the divine Will, knightly custodians of the Truth. And they may not necessarily be descendants of Jesus himself, but others from the ancient past whose covenant with the Divine left a genetic imprint. What they guard, what they fight for and advance, is not the simplistic notion that Jesus had children, but something far more powerful. It has been referred to as the Holy Grail, and it is these hidden bloodlines of light—not the visible blue bloods occupying positions of political and monarchical power—that are the true guardians of the Grail.

What we call “aliens” are hyperdimensional beings. They hide behind the veil of our perceptions and can project themselves into our visible reality at will. They are not recent visitors to earth, but have been here for hundreds of thousands of years and continue to live here, mostly in underground bases. Some “aliens” helped genetically engineer the human race, while other factions later crippled human genetics in order to turn mankind into little more than a source of physical and etheric food. Today, those interacting with humanity via abductions have a negative orientation and intend to create a race of human-alien hybrids capable of ruling over humanity while having total allegiance to the interdimensional alien empire. Literature tends to identify these negative “aliens” as the reptilians, grays, mantids, and some hostile nordic factions. There exist positively oriented beings as well, notably the more positive nordics, but they respect the law of freewill and do not engage in physical abductions. Rather they exist as a spiritual brotherhood lending their service to protect and guide those of us who seek freedom from the limitations of this 3D matrix control system, prison/school earth.

According to rabbinic lore, Cain was not the son of Adam but of Samael (Enki). Therefore, it makes even more sense to suppose that Cain was the son of Enki and Eve and not of Lilith and Adam. Thus the Hebrew Patriarchs, the supporters of Enlil/Jehovah, would choose to hide the real bloodline of Cain. Lilith would have been demonized as the “disobedient wife.”

The imagery associated with Melusine is very specific in its connotations: it refers to the patriarch Adam’s first wife Lillith, who is depicted in cabalistic tradition as a naked human female with a serpent’s tail for her lower half.

This bloodline descended from a figure who equates with the biblical Cain. In certain rabbinic lore, we come across the very interesting notion that Cain was not the son of Adam, but of Samael. It was thought that when Samael appeared to Eve as a serpent, he seduced her. The fruit of that union was Cain. Samael was a fallen angel, essentially the Judaic Lucifer.

Some apocryphal versions of the story of Cain proclaim that he was the son of Adam and Lillith, not Eve. It is interesting that of the two alternate traditions concerning Cain’s parentage, both involve the Luciferian Nephilim bloodline.

In ancient times, wisdom was synonymous with power; and power, especially for those who do not possess it, is more often than not perceived to be synonymous with oppression. The Watchers were accused of such when it was written, “Let every oppressor perish from the face of the earth; Destroy the offspring of the Watchers, for they have tyrannized over mankind.” In The Book of Enoch, the offspring of the Watchers are described as a race of giants who “devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them; when they turned against men in order to devour them.” Why would diverse and widely separated traditions all make the same outrageous claim unless it had some basis in truth? Or more to the point: if it were not true, what are the odds that all these traditions would concoct the same lie?

But in the Watchers we can see an emerging prototype of Satan, the adversary. We can also see a variation on the theme of Original Sin. Just as with Eve and the forbidden fruit, the sin of the Watchers involved a specific combination of infractions, having to do with both disobedience and with knowledge.

What interests us is the persistence of the myth itself: the ongoing story of a race of gods and their descendants, who somehow come to be perceived as Luciferian. Often such figures are associated with water, the sea, or the Flood. At times they are presented as dwellers within the Earth (and often in connection with this, as giants). Some say that the Watchers themselves were imprisoned within the Earth, while The Book of Enoch places great emphasis on the notion that a flood was sent “so that their seed would perish from the Earth.”

Though the true nature of Enoch’s relation to the Watchers is deliberately left out of The Book of Enoch, it becomes self-evident when we examine the Hebrew word for those descended from the Nephilim: the “Anakim.” Just as the word “Elohim” implies the descendants of God, so “Anakim” implies the descendants of Anak – that is to say, the descendants of Enoch.

One of the primary symbols connected to the Merovingians is that of sea monsters, because of their supposed descent from the sea creature called “the Quinotaur.” The most well-known sea monster is undoubtedly the biblical Leviathan. In some versions of the tale, Leviathan is described as a dragon who encircles the Earth, biting his tale, and is said to represent the “world soul.” In The Book of Enoch, Leviathan is described as a monster who resides in the ocean, and is female.

This seems fairly emblematic of the consensus opinion regarding the character of Leviathan, with the notable exception of The Book of Enoch, which speaks of, “a female monster, whose name is Leviathan, dwelling in the depths of the sea, above the springs of waters...” Why a dragon, whether dwelling in the sea or encircling the Earth, should be synonymous with the serpent of Genesis, or evolve into a generic term for the Devil is somewhat perplexing; yet the connection is undeniable.

The royal family most closely associated with Rennes-le-Chateau, that of the Merovingian kings, was also clearly represented by sea symbolism. As we have stated, their name stems from “mer”, the French word for “sea”, and as we know, their progenitor, Meroveus, was supposedly spawned by the mythical sea creature called “the Quinotaur. The only reference we were able to find was that cited in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, where it is described as “a beast of Neptune.” And Poseidon was, as legends state, one of the kings of Atlantis.

The sea was a potent symbol in ancient times. Water was viewed as a substance that represented a kind of intermediary plane between the terrestrial realm and the celestial. Mythical creatures associated with water or the sea were seen, then, to exist between two planes, or on two planes at once: the physical and the spiritual. Such creatures were emblematic of the divine spirit having descended into matter, the flesh.

In ancient reliefs, Dagon is depicted as a man dressed as a fish. He looks stern, somber, and has the authoritative bearing of a priest or king. He wears a massive fish head as a hat, and the fish’s scaly hide hangs down his back. The fish symbol associated with Christ, as we have stated, is called by the Greek word “Icthys”, meaning (like “dag”) “fish.” This word, in turn, is formed of the first letters of each word from the Greek phrase “Jesus Christ, God - Son - Savior.” According to legend, Dagon was a god who came from out of the sea to teach mankind the secrets of civilization, such as science, agriculture, and the arts. Yet again, like in the tale of the Watchers, we encounter a legendary being who comes from another realm to teach humanity evolutionary wisdom.

In another version of the same tale, Dagon is called “Annedotus.” He too emerges from the sea to disperse great secrets to mankind. But there is an important variation to the story: Annedotus begets a race, the members of which become the teachers of mankind, the “Annedoti.” Note the similarity to the names that appear in a Semitic Sumerian myth very much of the same ilk. In this telling, the god Anu comes to Earth, bringing knowledge, and sires a race called the “Annunaki.

Another sea god associated with both Dagon and Annedotus is Oannes, a deity part-man, part-fish, who appeared “from that part of the Erythrean sea which borders on Babylon”, according to the historian Berossus.

According to legend, Oannes spent the day among men, passing down his teachings, but when the sun set, he “retired again into the sea, passing the night in the deep, for he was amphibious.” As Blavatsky states, this simply implied that Oannes:

“...belonged to two planes: the spiritual and the physical. For the Greek word amphibios means simply ‘life on two planes’... The word was often applied in antiquity to those men who, though still wearing a human form, had made themselves almost divine through knowledge, and lived as much in the spiritual, supersensuous regions as on Earth.”

Scholars seem to concur that Oannes, Dagon, and Annedotus are merely different names which all refer to essentially the same mythological character. And yet the Assyrian relief would seem to contradict such a premise. It would seem to bear a kind of mute testimony to the possibility that all three of the aforementioned figures may have had their genesis in what was at one time a real historical personage.

The earliest kings of which we know were deified kings: god-kings. They were identified with both fire and water, the sun and the sea. They had solar titles, and lunar titles. If Dagon and Oannes were once historical figures, they were probably among the descendants of such a line of god-kings.

The first king of Sumeria was also the first god of Sumeria. He was a deified king named Ia, and he was known as “the Lord of the Flood”, or “Lord of the Deep Waters.”

Sumeria’s sea kings were also known as “shepherds”, a term that meant “protector.” Remember, their first king was said to have come from “the heavens” to serve as “shepherd of mankind.” And the Sumerian god-king identified with Dagon was, in some records, referred to simply as “the Shepherd.”

Author Henry Lincoln has conclusively proven that The Shepherds of Arcadia contains a hidden pentagram, the center point of which falls exactly on the forehead of the shepherdess. The pentagram has a dual meaning for occultists, representing simultaneously both the forgotten race from which the Grail bloodline descended, and that race’s secret doctrine. In Sumeria, were the pentagram originated, one of the concepts it symbolized was that of the “Shining Ones” or “Lofty Ones”, terms used in reference to the deified kings. In Arcadia, the pentagram was synonymous with the secret gnosis that Hermes was said to have preserved from a race of antediluvian gods. Hermes was the patron deity of graves and of shepherds. Clearly the secret doctrine being alluded to is the royal art known as Hermeticism. And in fact, the connection between Hermeticism and the fallen angels seems to constitute a long-standing tradition.

When we asked him where the word “Cathar” came from, he explained that it referred to a people descended from “the Cats” and “the Ari”, or “Aryans.” They were sea-going people who had settlements throughout the known world. In light of our subsequent research, it seems likely that these “Cats” were “Kads”, or ancient Akkadians.

Perhaps the strangest aspect of this mystery surrounding the Grail, and the various secret societies dedicated to its service, is the vast abundance of so much symbolism which seems to have no apparent connection to Christianity whatsoever. This has lead to speculation that the Grail tradition might have something to do with a secret teaching of Christ, or perhaps constitutes and even more ancient hidden gnosis. Such supposition seems highly probable, given the fact that Christ was a descendant of King Solomon, considered by occultists to be one of the greatest sorcerers of all time. Furthermore, it is indeed true that much of Judaic and Christian doctrine has roots in what can only be called occult theology

After all, some of the most illustrious biblical patriarchs, such as Abraham, Solomon, and Moses, were men said to traffic in the black arts. In the time of Christ it was widely believed by both his enemies and his supporters that he too was a sorcerer.

Though the foregoing statement will undoubtedly seem blasphemous to true believers, there is ample evidence in historical sources which indicates that this perception of Christ was not an uncommon one in his own day. Such evidence is explored in-depth in Morton Smith’s landmark book Jesus the Magician.

“In Jewish priestly circles of the first century like those of Josephus, to be thought a magician was not necessarily discreditable, and in other Jewish circles it might be taken as a messianic trait.”

There is ample evidence in the Old Testament, alternative traditions and Rabbinic lore that the notion of Christ as a magician or conjurer of demons is no mere misconception or misinterpretation. In fact, it seems to constitute a family heritage of sorts. The patriarch Abraham was said to be well-versed in “the black arts”, and traveled extensively, sharing his knowledge with priests and kings of other lands. In Rabbinic lore it was recorded that Solomon conjured the demon Asmodeus to build his mighty temple.

Undoubtedly the most bizarre ritual of the Roman Church is that of Communion - the symbolic consumption of the flesh and blood of Christ. Even as a purely symbolic act, the ceremony’s connotations are barbaric, and seem to have more in common with occultism than Christian doctrine. It is said by some that in certain Babylonian rites, a human sacrifice was required, and that the victim’s flesh and blood was then consumed by participants in the ritual.

The symbolism inherent in this story could hardly be more straightforward. The missing penis, besides representing the obvious loss of manhood, is emblematic (as in the case of Osiris) of the cleaving apart of the two most basic forces, as signified by their two most primary manifestations: male and female. The king is useless without the ability to become conjoined to the queen and produce an heir to the throne.

This conclusion seems to possess even less inner logic than the Kali hypothesis, and fails to explain why the symbolism unique to the Black Madonna phenomenon could be seen to indicate such a notion. The most straightforward explanation for the symbolism of the color black is the most common meaning associated with it in the occult: matter. To the ancients matter was synonymous with the world, the flesh, and the Devil. Consequently, the figure of the Madonna (a mother) symbolized as matter1, can easily be seen to equate with some of the most ancient notions previously discussed concerning the female aspect of the divine couple.

Why would Jesus Christ be identified with a fish?” This fish represents much of what the shape which defines it has already been shown to identify: the intersection of two realms. As a denizen of the waters, it signifies the sea, and all that the sea in turn symbolizes. For the ancients, the waters represented an intermediary point between spirit and matter.

Despite all of this, even in the context of patriarchal monotheism, rabbinic tradition records that even Jehovah once had a consort named Lillith. This goddess figures prominently in rabbinic lore, and is said to have left the side of God to come to Earth as Adam’s first wife. She bore Adam his first son Cain, but being of a haughty and rebellious nature, she refused to submit to Adam’s rule, eventually leaving him

The word “hermaphrodite” is a conjunction of Hermes and Aphrodite, a union of the masculine and feminine aspects of God. The symbolism of the Hermaphrodite and its central significance to alchemy is well-known.

Not only do Christ and Hermes seem to be coming from the same place, it is amusing to note that Christ is far more explicit in his use of Hermetic symbolism than was Hermes even, the putative father of the alchemical arts. Christ was clearly invoking the archetype of the primordial hermaphrodite, inferring that the state of unity it symbolized was a prerequisite for (or synonymous with) “entering the kingdom.”

Why would Christ tell his disciples to make the male like the female and the female like the male, so that the male wouldn’t be male, nor the female female? And how were his disciples to accomplish this feat, this blending of male and female? The answer: sacred sex.

The words of Christ from The Gospel of Thomas are completely resonant with those of Jakob Frank, Hermes, Plato, and The Zohar. In fact, all these seem to constitute a single doctrine, existing on a continuum. In the West we find their echoes in alchemy: in the East, Tantra.

In 1353 BC, Amenhotep IV became Pharaoh of Egypt. Soon after ascending to the throne, he ended a 1,700 year tradition of worshipping many gods, and instituted a new era in which one universal god would replace them: the sun god Aten. He changed his name to Ankenaten, meaning “Servant of Aten”, and proclaimed himself a living manifestation of God on Earth, the Son of the Sun.

The principle of Aten went beyond mere sun worship, such as the later manifestations of Sol Invictus and Mithras. For the Egyptians, and Ankenaten, Aten was the all-encompassing principle of creation itself, and was both masculine and feminine.

Some scholars claim that Ankenaten’s doctrine was preserved by Moses, who may have been one of his high priests. Indeed, there is circumstantial evidence in the Bible to lend credence to such a claim. Exodus states that Moses was Egyptian, and Acts tells us that he was “learned in the wisdom of the Egyptians.” Even Sigmund Freud suggests in his book Moses and Monotheism that Moses may have been an Egyptian with high status in Ankenaten’s court. Others (Laurence Gardner among them) go further still, insisting that Moses and Ankenaten were in fact the same person.

In addition to the more modern notion connecting Moses to Ankenaten, there is a theory dating back to the Middle Ages equating both men with the legendary Hermes. If Moses was synonymous with Ankenaten, and Ankenaten was synonymous with Hermes, this could definitely explain the similarities between the Emerald Tablet and what Christ said in The Gospel of Thomas. It has been shown that much of Moses’ exoteric doctrine (the Ten Commandments, etc.) is a recapitulation of material found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Could it not be possible that he also passed down the esoteric doctrine of the Egyptian mysteries - the secret knowledge of the Pharaohs?

According to occult legend, Ankenaten was the second incarnation of Hermes, and was in possession of the Emerald Tablet containing the secret Gnosis of the ages, which was passed down to him by Thoth (the original Hermes.) It further states that Moses’ sister Miriam smuggled the Tablet out of Egypt during the Exodus. While it is impossible to determine definitively whether or not Moses and Ankenaten were the same person, what is most important to the scenario is that Moses would seem to have had intimate knowledge (and perhaps possession) of the Emerald Tablet. This would go a long way towards explaining the overwhelming similarities between the esoteric doctrine of Hermes and that of Christ. This doctrine was said to have represented the secret teachings of a forgotten race of gods, and was preserved by Hermes after the Flood. This is interesting, because the ancient Egyptians thought that they were the descendants of Osiris, a god who came to Earth from the heavens to teach his secrets to mankind.

The story of Eden is a highly symbolic account, containing elements of both truth and fiction. Those aspects that reflect the most historical accuracy are the various names involved, which can be shown to relate to very real figures in the Sumerian king lists. “King Ia” is Adam, his son “Kin” is Cain, the third king “Enu” is Enoch, and so on. But the king lists may also contain clues which shed light on the fictional aspects of the Eden story.

The Sumerians also had an antediluvian king list, which is generally regarded as a work of fiction. It purports to document a glorious pre-history of Sumer - one that stretched back 241,000 years into the past. Sumeriologist L.A. Waddell was able to demonstrate that this antediluvian king list could be patterned upon names and alternate titles of figures in the post-Flood king lists, and that the fabrication had probably been an attempt on the part of the Sumerians to reconstruct that part of their history which had been lost or forgotten. Authors of the Old Testament, using the Sumerian prototype as a guide, started their tale with the post-Flood figures, later inserting the story of the Flood out of sequence.

Central to the lore of Enoch is the notion that he preserved the lost wisdom of the antediluvian world. How could a figure who vanishes from biblical texts before the Flood (not to reappear thereafter) be expected to have accomplished such a task? Even in The Book of Enoch, he dispatches his “antediluvian” wisdom well before any suggestion of a coming deluge. Enoch’s story only makes sense if Noah’s story didn’t happen in the way it is presented. As unorthodox as such as idea may seem, there is evidence indicating that Enoch and Noah were really the same figure.

Could the story of Adam’s expulsion from Eden be emblematic of a previous Golden Age empire coming to an end? And could the ensuing banishment to a wasteland symbolize the condition of a planet left devastated by a flood? Perhaps the most well-known of these is that of Atlantis. Like the stories of Genesis, Atlantis is intimately connected with ideas of a fall from grace, divine retribution, and a flood. The history of Sumer begins with a flood; the story of Atlantis ends with one. Is it a tale rooted in history, and not myth? Could it be possible that Atlantis was the first Eden?

In both stories, the end of the idyllic paradise is precipitated by a rebellion against the gods. Divine punishment ensues, and the Golden Age comes to an end. Perhaps the oddest theme to be shared by both stories is that of giants. In both stories, giants are the result of miscegenation between gods and mortals - or more precisely, between gods and mortal women. Could such startling similarities be pure coincidence, or do the stories of Eden and Atlantis have a shared origin? Are the Watchers of The Book of Enoch synonymous with the antediluvian gods, perhaps the survivors of the island’s destruction?

The stories of the Watchers, of Dagon and Oannes are not unique. Nearly identical tales are told in virtually every corner of the globe. The only explanation that seems to make sense of such stories is surprisingly simple and straight-forward: they represent the interaction of peoples from radically different cultures. Imagine for a moment that people fleeing the destruction of a high civilization turned up in a society incredibly less advanced than their own?

We can choose to believe one of two things about these figures: either that they were really gods who enjoyed sharing the secrets of geometry, astronomy, agriculture and architecture; or that there was in fact a race of men at that time who had this knowledge.

Some of the names of these gods reveal specifically Atlantean connotations, while a full two-thirds of them contain root words relating to water or the sea. The name “Tule”, for instance, is all but identical to the Northern European designation for Atlantis, “Thule.” A connection also seems evident between these figures and the story of the tutelary god already discussed, Muru, or Maru (Dagon). He is identified as the second Sumerian deified king, Kan, the biblical Cain. His “Maru” title is of special interest, because it ties into our thesis relating the legend of Atlantis to the place remembered as Eden.

According to L.A. Waddell, the Sanskrit word “Maru” has the same meaning as the Sumerian word “Etin”, or “Eden.” So if Atlantis is synonymous with Merou, and Maru is synonymous with Eden, might it be possible that Atlantis (Merou) and Eden (Maru) actually refer to the same place? We have already presented evidence supportive of the fact that the figures of Enoch and Noah can both be traced to the third Sumerian king Enu, and that in the Chaldean flood legend it was he who piloted the Ark.

If Eden was Atlantis, and Enoch piloted the Ark that preserved the remnant of its populace, it is very probable that two of the passengers on that vessel would have been his father and grandfather; that is to say: the first two kings of Sumer - the biblical Adam and Cain.

In The Royal Commentaries of the Incas by Garcilaso de la Vega, it is clear that the beginning of their history coincides with the Flood: “After the waters of the Deluge had subsided, a certain man appeared in the country of Tiahuanaco.” That man was known as Viracocha, Manco Capac, Illa, and to the Aztecs, as Quetzalcoatl.

The name of Manco Capac’s descendants, the “Inca”, has more than a passing resemblance to Cain’s Mesopotamian title, “Enki“. The story being told is very much the same, and so too are many of the names involved. Viracocha is the Andean name for this figure. In the Yucatan he was called “Noach Yum Chac.” He was also known as “Illa”, which equates with the Chaldean “Ila”, and the Mesopotamian “Ellu” - “The Shining One.”

Like Dagon and Oannes, Viracocha taught the people to read and write, how to plant crops, and how to till the field, and various magical arts. But there is an even more tangible link between the figure of Viracocha and the Sumerian fish gods. A statue of Viracocha exists which depicts him as a white man with a long beard. From the waist up he is normal in appearance, but from the waist down he is covered in fish scales.

Returning to the story of the god from across the sea, we shall examine the Mayan deity of “Kukulkan”, or “Kinich Ahan.” Both of these titles bear root words relating to “king” or “Cain” As one might expect, he is again depicted as a white man with a beard.

There are a good many symbols used by the Mayans that are virtually identical, and often precisely so, with those in the “Linear A” alphabet of Minoan Crete. But if Kukulkan is indeed the same figure as the other “white gods” of South America, and is synonymous with the Sumerian Kan and the Biblical Cain, it would fix the date of his appearance in the New World to a period far earlier than Minoan Crete.

When Viracocha came out of Lake Titicaca, he proclaimed himself “Lord of the Four Quarters”, meaning the four corners of the world. Many such figures used identical titles. Later they would be shortened to the more straight-forward “King of the Earth” or “Lord of the World”, both titles eventually bestowed on Lucifer himself.

Some authors have posited a connection between South America’s white gods and the Egyptian Osiris. Like his South American counterparts, Osiris is associated with a high civilization that seems to have come into being all at once, at a very high level of culture. This is the same story told by the Sumerians in regards to Dagon, and by the Chaldeans in regards to Oannes.

Those familiar with Nordic mythology will be struck by the similarity between “Votan” and “Wotan”, the father god of the Northern European pantheon. The pronunciation of both names is in fact identical. He is also known as “Odin” or “Wodan.”

This is significant because the South American Votan was also symbolized as a snake. So too were Ityamana, Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan. The figure known as “Noach Yum Chac” even wrote a text entitled Proof That I am a Serpent. In it, he asserts that he is “the third Votan”, a descendant of Chan, and - of course - a serpent.

Names relating to Enoch also show up in a South American context. An alternate title of Enoch in the Sumerian king list called The Kish Chronicle is “Naksha.” This finds accord in the Peruvian place-name of “Nazca.”

“Further confirmation of Cain, the artificer in bronze and iron, is supplied by The Book of Enoch, which, originally written in Hebrew or its sister Aramaic script, is now arbitrarily classified as ‘apocryphal.’ It states (Chap. VIII.1): ‘And Azaz-el taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields and breastplates, and made known to them the metals and the working of them, and bracelets and ornaments.’

Thus, too, is Cain linked explicitly to the figures known in the West as fallen angels. Consequently, we can see that all of these stories are indeed the same story. The mysterious race, whether called “sons of God”, or “white gods” are all one and the same. And they were all lead by a single figure who, despite his plethora of names and titles, equates with the biblical Cain. Because of this man’s seemingly super-human or even supernatural powers and abilities, he and his entourage were perceived to be angels or gods.

Thus we envision “the gods” in question ensconced in the clouds, atop Olympus, or in some faraway Valhalla. But what if these gods were flesh and blood beings living alongside those they ruled? What if they were a ruling elite whose level of evolution was so much more advanced than those they governed that they were perceived as gods and not as men?

Having interbred with those they governed over for a long enough period of time, a new class would have eventually emerged - a class sharing the attributes of both the ruler and the ruled. The inevitable rebellion of this class “against the gods” can be seen, therefore, as something not the least mythological. Rather, it would have constituted a mere example of class war, described in mytho-poetic terms. The retribution taken against the insurgents was undoubtedly far more direct than a flood. The story of the Flood was attached to the tale of rebellion to serve as a cautionary warning.

When we first began to research the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau full-time, we could not possibly have conceived that our inquiries would lead to the lost continent of Atlantis. We were familiar with the writings on Atlantis by Plato, Ignatius Donnelly, and others, but we considered the story to be little more than a curious (though fascinating) episode from mythology. Over the course of a number of years, however, our researches would repeatedly point back to the lost island kingdom.

The legend associated with the descendants of Cain says that they dwelt in the “underground kingdoms.” In Jewish legend, it was said that after Cain’s expulsion from Eden, he went to a subterranean named “Arka.” This obviously equates with the well-known “Agartha”, an underground city in Asian legend, and the less well-known Egyptian underground world “Agert.” An alternate title of Cain was “Ag”, and both underworld names appear to have been connected to him.

In so many myths the abode of the gods is located not in the heavens, but in the underworld. The story is told of a race of giants “cast into the abyss”, or the underworld..

Most remarkable of all, perhaps, is that Collins places the location of the original Eden somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Van, a region whose landscape is dominated by a massive extinct volcano called “Nemrut Dag.” Nemrut Dag simply means “the Mountain of Nimrod”, or “Mount Nimrod.” That an extinct volcano in the Garden of Eden is named after Nimrod is incredible enough, but the revelation that “Dag” can sometimes means “mountain” adds a new layer of meaning to Cain’s title of “Dagon.”

Viewed in this context, “Dagon” could also be seen as meaning “Lord of the Mountain”, equivalent to the very title often given to God in the Old Testament, “El Shaddai.” This view is reinforced by the fact that “El Shaddai” is believed by many scholars to be the basis of “El Shaitain”, an older name for Satan.

The history of Sumer tells of a people who came down from a high place, or “the highlands” (the mountains) to take control of “the plains of Shinar” (Sumer). It also tells of gods who “descended from the heavens” to become the kings of Sumer. The legend of the Watchers tells a kindred tale. But in the Old Testament it is not said that God/El Shaddai lives on a mountain, but rather in a mountain. Did the race of the Watchers dwell in underground cities inside mountains before descending to the plains to build similar cities such as Derinkuyu and Kaymakli?

Why would they want to live in underground cities? It is quite possible that at some point in their history, simple survival necessitated it. Central to our understanding of the story of the Watchers is that they were the remnants of a previous high civilization that somehow survived a global cataclysm. We hypothesize that given the physical descriptions of the Watchers, these were a people who at some point in their evolution were forced to spend an extended period of time beneath the Earth’s surface. Whether or not you believe in the Hollow Earth theory, the persistent notion connecting these people to the underworld or “Abyss” has to have a basis in some historical truth.

The “underworld thesis” may also shed some light on the recurring mythological theme of the Black Sun, a scenario of death and resurrection. When the king dies, the sun turns black. He descends to the underworld and is reborn as God, a very bizarre notion. But imagine for a moment that the death of the king symbolizes the destruction of his empire by a global cataclysm. The sun is blotted from the sky by unprecedented storms such as would flood the entire world, or by violent volcanic activity that would fill the atmosphere with ash, and reduce the temperature so abruptly as to trigger an ice age. Now imagine that some people are able to escape the cataclysm by going underground to live. Perhaps they know of secret passageways to the Hollow Earth, or simply vast subterranean caverns.

Could they have preserved this tradition because they were the descendants of survivors of previous cataclysms? In the case of an ice age, these people would be confined to quarters for an incredibly long period of time. They would have been in a position to preserve the knowledge of their lost civilization, while those on the surface could count themselves lucky just to have survived. When things slowly, incrementally returned to normal climactically, those who emerged from the underworld would not be the same as those who had remained on the surface.

This brings us back to the myth of the Black Sun, which is connected to the myth of Osiris, whom we believe to be synonymous with Cain. Is it a form of symbolic shorthand, intended to be emblematic of the idea that he actually survived the process of death that had destroyed a world, i.e., the Deluge?

There have always been varying traditions about where the Ark came to rest. Some say Mount Ararat, some say a location nearby. There is credible evidence in support of both views. Aerial photographs of Mount Ararat show what appears to be the Ark emerging from a sheet of ice. But not so far away, on a peak traditionally called “the Mountain of Death”, modern researchers believe it to have landed there during the Flood. Both of these peaks are in the general vicinity of Nemrut Dag and the underground cities. Since Nemrut Dag (“Mount Nimrod”) is one of the highest peaks in the region, would it not seem a likely landing place for the Ark?

We believe that the Flood represents the starting point of our current historical epoch, and that the story of the Flood is also the story of the Watchers.

The idea that a race of beings, perceived to be gods, lived inside a mountain, both long prior to their contact with humanity and long after, is persistent and widespread. Even Sargon the Great is known to have made the enigmatic statement that his father’s brother “dwelled in a mountain.” The clear implication seemed to be that he was a direct descendant of the gods, and that their dwelling-place was inside a mountain.

A number of mythologies have figures roughly equating with Cain, all of whom live in volcanoes.

Perhaps to the very primitive ancients, the art of the blacksmiths was equivalent to the later black art of al-chem-y, the science of transmuting one substance to another. Instead of turning lead into gold, they turned rock into metal. The primordial blacksmith of Roman myth was Vulcan, from whose name we derive the word “volcano.” His very name preserves the root of the more ancient permutation of Cain’s name, “Kan.” Vulcan is widely believed to be based on the Greek Hephaistos, who forged metal objects possessing magical powers. Though relegated to the position of a minor deity, and revealing none of the qualities traditionally associated with Cain, his connections thereto are nonetheless inescapable. It was said that after a brief liaison with the goddess Athena, she gave birth to Ericthonus/Erectheus, the first king of Athens. This figure is universally regarded as synonymous with Enoch, the son of Cain. Hephaistos is also said to have been fathered by the Kabeiroi, an “arcane race of blacksmith gods.” Elsewhere in the world this race was known as the Cabiri

Though gods represented as blacksmiths may sound utterly irrelevant in a modern context, it is difficult to overestimate the impact that the introduction of metalworking had on planetary evolution. Those who knew how to extract and manipulate metals wielded vast economic and political power. Those with whom they shared the byproducts of their specialized knowledge gained a great survival advantage. The Watchers appeared to people who essentially.

The forbidden knowledge passed down by the Watchers essentially jumpstarted civilization and provided the very foundation for everything we today take for granted.

The true legacy of the Watchers was not merely in the material realm, or limited to knowledge alone. Their most decisive impact on human evolution may be genetic in nature. By interbreeding with the people they found, they in effect created a new kind of man. Their hybrid offspring obviously reflected their more highly-evolved nature.

Before this peak was called “Ararat”, it was known as “Aghri Dag” - Mount Aghri. This word “Aghri” is a name rich in possible associations. It could be the primary root of the names of the previously mentioned underground worlds “Agartha”, “Agert”, and “Arka.”

The town at Aghri’s base, said to be “of the greatest antiquity”, now wiped out by the earthquake that disgorged the Ark was named “Aghouri”, or “Ahora.” The word further resembles the name “Ahura”, the god of light in Zoroastrianism. And of course, the Watchers were called, in Sumeria, “the Shining Ones.”

We should note that the Greek symbol for “Alpha”, “the beginning”, resembles a mountain or pyramid. If Omega is the Flood, could not this symbolic mountain be thought of as representing the Mount of Refuge upon which the Ark landed after the Flood, and from which a new beginning for mankind, an “Alpha”, was born. If so, then “Alpha” and “Omega”, the beginning and the end, could be used as code for the concepts of the Flood and the Mount of Refuge.

All of this brings to mind the tableau in Rennes-le-Chateau in which Christ is identified as the Alpha, and John the Baptist as the Omega. Since the Baptist prepared the way for the Christ, would not he be the beginning, the Alpha? Perhaps the meaning is simpler than suspected. Perhaps what is being said is that the Alpha and Omega are one and the same: that the end (the Flood) brought forth a new beginning (the post-diluvian epoch).

Our study of the origins of the Grail bloodline had lead us to a race of ancient mythical god-kings, of which nearly identical descriptions can be found in the records of cultures spanning a wide spectrum of times and locales. These god-kings were portrayed in Judeo-Christian lore as the fallen angels and “Sons of God” of the Bible, or the “Watchers” of The Book of Enoch, and were personified by one figure in particular: Cain. We also discovered that these god-kings were equivalent to the kings of Atlantis described by Plato. It appeared that this mysterious “Atlantis” may have been the original home of this sea-faring, civilizing race.

Time and again in the course of our research we have encountered tales connecting them to the construction of man-made mountains and islands; and often, in relation to these, subterranean cities. We had been lead by clues, rather strangely, to investigate the myths associated with the “Hollow Earth” theory – myths of the underground empire of Agartha, ruled by the “Lord of the Earth”, and lit by a “Black Sun” located in the Earth’s center. We were convinced that there was a direct connection between the legendary subterranean kingdoms of ancient mythology and the Grail saga, but we weren’t at first able to find too many direct connections to the Rennes- le –Chateau.

We knew that the area is covered with numerous underground tunnels, and many believe that at least one of these tunnels leads to Sauniere’s mysterious treasure. We also knew that Rennes-le-Chateau was considered a sort of metaphysical gateway between Heaven and Hell, the “House of God and Gateway to Heaven”, as Sauniere, quoting from the Bible, described it.

The entire mystery, and the surrounding area, are steeped with legends of the Devil, and therefore of the Underworld. And we knew that Otto Rahn, a Nazi SS employee, had been sent to the Cathar fortress of Montsegur in Southern France to look for the Grail stone in the caves of the mountain, which, he believed, lead to an underground temple in which the relic was housed. We had even read a reference to the Black Sun as a “Merovingian symbol.”

Why, then, had there been no mention of these subjects in Holy Blood, Holy Grail or The Messianic Legacy? If the subjects of Atlantis and Agartha related to the mystery of the Grail, or that of Rennes-le-Chateau, would not the Priory of Sion have at least hinted at it somewhere along the line?

In an article by “Le Comte de Moncharville” entitled The East and the West, it is written that:

“...France, through Brittany, was also familiar with the Atlantean tradition, of which the Druidic cult is merely the survival. When Catholicism chased the Druids out of Gaul, some of the monks collected together the Atlantean traditions and formed the Alpha, which then split into two branches: the Cistercians, who adopted Christianity, and the Chivalric Order of Galate, which preserved the Atlantean tradition.”

De Monarchville’s assertions match those expressed in a book called Preadamites, cited by Ignatius Donnelly’s “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World”. The passage cited reads:

“The Gauls possessed traditions upon the subject of Atlantis which were collected by the Roman historian Timagenes, who lived in the first century before Christ. He represents that three distinct people dwelt in Gaul: 1. The indigenous population who had long dwelt in Europe; 2. The invaders from a distant island, which I understand to be Atlantis; 3. The Aryan Gaul.”

This great continent collapsed into materialism, fell prey to the dark forces, rejected the rule of law, destroyed its temples and [its people] massacred in large numbers, although those who survived succeeded in establishing themselves on our present continent, in our Brittany.

And it is underground where the publishers of Vaincre see the remains of the Atlantean tradition, preserved in subterranean cities populated by an advanced race. In The East and the West, by Le Comte de Moncharville, is a most astounding passage:

“During the mission to Tibet I succeeded in making contact with the ‘Dalai Lama’ while I was in Lhasa in the Forbidden City of Agartha. During the several years that my mission to Lhasa lasted I managed to win the confidence and friendship of them all, and I learned what probably no other initiate of the West has ever known, compared to which the famous Secret Doctrine of H.P. Blavatsky seem only a fragment of the truth.

When I was on the point of leaving, the monks led me along seemingly interminable staircases carved into the mountain into a veritable underground town located underneath the temples. And there they gave me a glimpse of the collection of objects that had been brought from Atlantis before the catastrophe there.

Then I visited the Sanctuary of the Dragon, where, for the first time since the Orient, I attended a ceremony of a Superior Rite, and finally, during my last few days there, I had the opportunity to contemplate electrical machines of a kind unknown today, which had been brought from Atlantis and which made it possible to impart to the subterranean rooms a light and atmosphere that was exactly the same as that of the open air, which had so surprised me during my first visit to the heart of the mountain. These machines were also used.

This underground structure, according to Moncharville, was constructed by “Galatean knights”, precursors of the Knights Templar who were the preservers of the Atlantian tradition, and the originators of chivalry.

Moncharville reveals the location of the Sanctuary to be, once again, the French province of Brittany, and the “Mounts of the Dragon” are actually located on the site currently known as Mount St. Michel (where St. Michael supposedly defeated the infamous Dragon.) What initially drew our attention there were the assertions made by some that Mt. St. Michel is one of a series of purportedly man-made mountains which form what is called “the St. Michael line”: a series of sacred sites (all named after St. Michael) that stretch from Israel to Britain. They are situated in Jerusalem, Greece, Brittany and Cornwall. Folklore in the south of England states that St. Michael’s Mount was an island actually built in ancient times by giants.

“The Sanctuary of the Dragon was not abandoned; a new monastery was constructed on its site. Beneath the crypt located underneath the flagstone of the Galatean Knights there is a crypt more ancient still, dating from this period, gives access to the old Sanctuary. It was through the Sancutary of the Dragon that the first knights passed to meet with the subterranean dwellers, who lead them to the heart of the Breton crypts 379 meters down, in the City of the Alpha, where the Temple of Aga was located. Is this still the only entrance to the City of the Alpha? No, but it is very certainly the oldest.”

But now we had corroboration directly from the publications of the Priory of Sion that they believed in underground cities like Agartha, the fabled city located in the center of the Earth, which they maintained was built by Atlanteans, and that the oldest entrance to this vast underworld was located in France. This passageway was thought to reach to the center of the Earth, and not just far underground.

So then, we thought, if such a thing exists in Brittany, many miles to the North and on the other side of France, why could there not be something similar at Rennes-le-Chateau?

The village is placed atop one of five mountain peaks which form a perfect pentagram. Henry Lincoln has theorized that the existence of this “natural pentagram” is itself what has lead to the perception that the area was somehow holy, and that the five-pointed star (which recurs repeatedly in this mystery) was a sacred symbol to those who came here in ancient times.

Authors Colin Wilson and Rand Flem-Ath have recently asserted that the pentagram at Rennes-le-Chateau points to the North Pole. What is most interesting about the authors’ observation concerning the Rennes-le-Chateau pentagram is that, according to them, the pentagram points to the North Pole not as it exists today, but to the very location it occupied 10,000 years ago.

They claim that the Earth’s axis can be shown to have shifted twice, each time resulting in a global cataclysm (such as the biblical Flood or the destruction of Atlantis.)

Lava flows dated before 10,000 years ago indicate that the placement of the North Pole was once near Hudson Bay. And it is toward this position that the Rennes-le-Chateau pentagram points.

We submit that the idea of a pentagonal series of ziggurats buried beneath the mountains of Rennes-le-Chateau is actually an altogether straight-forward hypothesis, given what we know of sacred sites and the people who created them. Virtually all such sites reveal the use of astronomy and show extensive knowledge of geometry by their builders - especially Pythagorean geometry.

That the people associated with the bloodline of the Grail knew about the placement of the pentagram in the landscape. But if the Priory was in any way a legitimate continuation of the same tradition which the Templars shared, then it seems unlikely that they would not have known. After all, the Templars constructed cathedrals across the face of Europe whose precise placements replicated the same pattern, sometimes on exactly the same scale.

It appeared that the layout of Rennes-le-Chateau was patterned after that of the Holy Land. The most striking aspect of the similarities between the two was the placement of Sauniere’s church: it occupied the same point on the map as did the Temple of Solomon. Could Sauniere have believed that he was, on a purely symbolic level, rebuilding the Temple of Solomon?

The quote that Sauniere chose to inscribe above the entrance to his church proclaims that it is the “Gateway to Heaven”. As we have noted elsewhere, the full text of the inscription above the church entry relates to Jacob’s proclamation, upon awakening from his strange dream of the ladder, that “This is the House of God and the Gateway to Heaven.”

This should suffice to give at least some small indication of what the pentagram really signified to the people who used it, and why they thought it sacred. They considered it an emmanation of the mind of God, and believed that by more fully grasping the primordial principles it embodied, they could come into accord with the mind of God.

A few years back, workers toiling in an underground chamber beneath a medieval cathedral in Geneva, Switzerland uncovered a strange mosaic tile floor, thought to be of great antiquity. The mosaic depicted an icon beloved by the Merovingians: the Black Sun. The Priory of Sion claims that one of its principle commandaries is in Geneva, and if so, this may be it. For hidden away in the cathedral’s recesses, far from public view, is one of Christendom’s strangest set of relics: a plate and cup connected to the legends of Cain, Solomon, Christ, and Lucifer.

In an ancient variation on Biblical tradition, the so-called “mark of Cain” - believed to have been inflicted upon Adam’s first son - is said to have been caused by a stone that fell from Lucifer’s crown during the war in Heaven and bounced off Cain‘s forehead. According to this lore, the mark was in the shape of a red serpent. The jewel from Lucifer’s crown became a sacred relic, and was handed down dynastically from father to son, eventually coming into the possession of King Solomon. He hired a master craftsman to carve the huge stone into a plate and drinking vessel. According to this same legend, these very utensils were later used by Christ at the Last Supper. This story, bizarre though it may be, is emblematic of the unambiguously Luciferian symbolism that recurs constantly in regards to lore of the Grail bloodline - symbolism that has been consciously cultivated by the Merovingians throughout their history.

Among the most overtly Luciferian lore relating to the Grail bloodline is the strange saga of Melusine, a woman said to be half-human and half-serpent. Her father was reputedly Godfroi de Bouillon, former King of Jerusalem (or “Defender of the Holy Sepulcher”, as he preferred to be called), and prime mover behind the formation of both the Priory of Sion and the Knights

Godfroi was succeeded as King of Jerusalem by his brother Baldwin, who in turn was succeeded by Fulk the Black, a member of the prominent Angevin dynasty. It was Fulk who married Godfroi’s daughter, the mythical Melusine.

Fulk burst into her bedroom one of these nights, only to be confronted by a terrifying visage. His wife had transformed herself into a figure that was half-serpent. The entirety of her lower extremities took on the appearance of a massive, bluish-white colored snake. Melusine was so horrified at being discovered that she keeled over dead.

In the early, happy days of Melusine’s marriage, she gave birth to a son, Geoffrey de Anjou. Geoffrey would eventually grow up to be the first Plantagenet King of England. Present at Geoffrey's birth was Bernard of Clairvaux, the famous Cistercian abbot, and yet another founding father of the Knights Templar. Upon first seeing the baby Geoffrey, Bernard made this strange pronouncement: “From the Devil he has come, and to the Devil he’ll return.”

The members of this family (the Grail family) are no strangers to the adroit implementation of symbolism. The imagery associated with Melusine is very specific in its connotations: it refers to the patriarch Adam’s first wife Lillith, who is depicted in cabalistic tradition as a naked human female with a serpent’s tail for her lower half.

Conventional wisdom has it that the Grail bloodline is sacred because it came from Christ, a man still considered by much of the world to be the true son of God. And yet the dynasty of kings who descended from this bloodline were known as sorcerer-kings, some of whom hinted or even stated outright that they were in fact descendants of Lucifer.

This bloodline descended from a figure who equates with the biblical Cain. In certain rabbinic lore, we come across the very interesting notion that Cain was not the son of Adam, but of Samael. It was thought that when Samael appeared to Eve as a serpent, he seduced her. The fruit of that union was Cain. Samael was a fallen angel, essentially the Judaic Lucifer. If the Merovingians knew of this version of the story and believed it, it could be the basis of their alleged assertion that they possessed the blood of both Christ and Lucifer.

Some apocryphal versions of the story of Cain proclaim that he was the son of Adam and Lillith, not Eve. It is interesting that of the two alternate traditions concerning Cain’s parentage, both involve the Luciferian Nephilim bloodline.

Both Lillith and Samael are traditionally held to be the parents of the demon Asmodeus. Not only is Asmodeus the dominant image (shown mirroring Christ) in Rennes-le-Chateau, he is said to have played the central role in building the Temple of Solomon, the edifice from which the Knights Templar took their name

Luciferian imagery is implied in the presence of “the Elohim” of The Book of Genesis, where they are quoted as saying: “Let us make man in our image.” In fact, “the Elohim” are widely believed by many researchers to be identical with the Nephilim, the fallen angels known as the Watchers in The Book of Enoch.

It is believed that “Elohim” comes from the much more ancient Babylonian word, “Ellu”, which means “Shining Ones.” This phrase has a distinctively Luciferian connotation, because the name “Lucifer” literally means “lightbearer.”

The phrase “Shining Ones” would be a very apt description for the descendants of Enoch’s fallen angels, who were said to have hair as white as snow, pale eyes, and pale skin which seemed literally to glow and fill the room with light. The Sumerian Ari are almost always depicted as wearing crowns bearing horns, and some of their descendants were reputed in legend to have had horns. For instance, the most famous statue of Moses (that of Michelangelo) depicts him with horns atop his forehead; not wholly inappropriate for someone who may be a blood relation of Asmodeus.

Seeing that this Luciferian legacy played such a prominent role in the Merovingian mythos, we wondered if traces of it could be detected in the Bible and other related texts. What caught our attention the most were a number of stories which seemed very suggestive of the idea that certain key patriarchs were descendants of the Watchers.

A further indication that Abraham was of the Nephilim bloodline is that according to this version of the story, Abraham’s mother left him in that cave alone for twenty days, and upon returning, she did not even recognize him because he had “grown very big.” He was as large as a full-grown man and could both speak and walk - surely an indication of some divine supernatural ancestry. In fact, later chroniclers state unambiguously that Abraham was a giant. Like certain of his illustrious forebears, Abraham was also a great builder.

Here we have a preeminent biblical patriarch as a practicioner of black magic, the forbidden art taught to man by the Watchers. Later figures such as Moses and Solomon were also said to be sorcerers. If three of the most important Old Testament figures were practicioners of the black arts, might not one reasonably conclude that an occult doctrine or tradition was perhaps central to the creed that eventually evolved into Judaism, and later Christianity?

The “dream of Jacob’s Ladder” is both a memory and a prophecy. It both foretells the coming of the twelve tribes, and alludes to their fallen angel lineage. In a bizarre addendum to this story, Jacob anoints the stone that served as his pillow with oil descended directly from Heaven, and then God casts the stone into “the Abyss” to serve as the cornerstone for his temple. But why would God want the cornerstone for His temple to be in the Abyss? Could it be because Jehovah’s Sumerian prototype, Ia, was known as “the Lord of the Abyss”?

One of the oddest symbols used frequently in reference to the Grail bloodline, and often in wildly unexpected contexts, is that of the serpent.

As previously noted, in Jewish apocrypha, there is a story in which Eve is seduced by the serpent of Eden (Samael), and it is he, not Adam, who fathers of Cain. Could this strange tradition have something to do with Moses and Christ, possibly Cain’s descendants, being connected to serpent symbolism? Some sects, such as the Ophite Gnostics, have promoted theologies which explicitly identify Christ with the serpent.

Though the serpent imagery is obviously mere symbolism, it nonetheless constitutes a symbol central to the identity of the Watchers and their offspring - one taken seriously by them, as it would later be by the Merovingians. Could it be a symbol of their heritage, derived from some illustrious (or perhaps sacred) forebear, a figure intimately connected to the idea of the solar serpent, perhaps one of the Chadeans’ deified kings? If this were the case, it would explain the legend of the serpent fathering Cain.

You will note that the serpent heritage which was such a matter of pride for the god-kings of other cultures was a cause for shame in the context of Judaism. In the Judeo-Christian version of events, the Original Sin is miscegenation, not disobedience.

Could it be that the woman presented in all monotheistic religions as the primordial matriarch was in fact seduced by a Chaldean king? The name “Samael” may hold some clues. It consists of “Sam”, which means “Sun”, and “ael”, which means “Son of God.” So Samael is a serpent who represents both the Sun and the Son of God, precisely the symbolism associated with Chaldean kings. Is this the reason that Cain, a man remembered by other cultures as a mighty king and a builder of great cities, was villianized and written out of the Old Testament almost entirely?

It is assumed that Cain’s bloodline disappeared from Biblical events at the same time he vanished East of Eden, and that subsequent patriarchs derived their descent from Adam’s “third son”, Seth. However, a close examination of the genealogies connected to Cain and Seth reveals that such may not be the case. Except for a few extra names added to the list of Seth’s descendants, the two genealogies are nearly identical.

It is as though the authors are retaining the true history, yet falsifying it just enough to throw off all but the most attentive reader. Cain had to be written out of Jewish history for some reason, but this task must have been quite difficult, because he was a very famous figure in the ancient world, known for having erected great cities across the length and breadth of Sumer and Chaldea. He was looked to as a founding father by nations and cultures that seemingly had no connection to Jewish history.

There is perhaps more written in the Bible about Cain under his guise as King Nimrod of Babylon than there is written about Cain proper. The historical figure of Nimrod can be conclusively identified with Cain, and like Cain, he is another character roundly demonized in the Old Testament.

The genealogy of the Merovingian bloodline has for centuries been shrouded in mystery, and yet, we have been able to definitively trace it back to the Shepherd Kings of ancient Sumer. For instance, in The Book of Genesis, we are told that the Biblical patriarch Abraham was “a Chaldean from Ur.”

The parallels between the Watchers and the Chaldeans become greater still when viewed in the light of a tradition cited by Eusebius, who wrote: “Abraham traced his ancestry to the giants. These dwelt in the land of Babylonia. Because of their impiety, they were destroyed by the gods.” These two traditions (of the Watchers and of the Chaldeans) sound so identical because they are identical.

Though one of the most illustrious of the Sumerian/Chaldean monarchs, King Gudia remains a relatively obscure personage in terms of mainstream history. Gudia was both priest-king and architect, a builder of great cities and temples, not unlike Cain/Nimrod. And it just so happens that Nimrod was Gudia’s patron saint, as well as having been his ancestor.

Is it be possible that Judah, the son of Jacob from whom Jews derive their name, could in fact have been a Chaldean priest-king? Are Gudia and Judah one and the same?Were the Chaldeans all Jews? Were the people who called themselves Jews really Chaldeans? Were both merely different nations or tribes of an essentially Sumerian populace? Could it be that the so-called “Shepherdic Jews” were not so named because they had been shepherds, but because they claimed descent from a priest-king known as the “Good Shepherd”?

The Chaldean tradition, and its secret gnosis, is intimately linked with astronomy, astrology, geometry, architecture, and magic; all topics central to our ongoing inquiries. It was said that Gudia practiced the “Chaldean rite” of bull sacrifice - a practice that passed from Chaldea to Egypt, and eventually, to many parts of the ancient world. Significantly, this rite is said to have originated in Atlantis, and Gudia, like the Atlantean kings, kept the sacrificial bulls in his own palace.

By reviving Atlantean architecture and religious ritual, Gudia seemed to be trying to build a bridge between the past and the present, or to reconstitute the past in the present. His chosen title, “Gudia” (“Lord/King Ia”) harkens back to Sumer’s first deified king. Within two centuries of his death, Babylonians worshipped him as the “Divine Gudia”, and put statues of him in their temples.

For those unfamiliar with the story, it is well-documented that Christ’s uncle, Joseph of Arimathea made frequent trips to England in the course of his travels as a tin merchant. As the story goes, Jesus often accompanied his uncle on these journeys, and ended up spending a good deal of time in Cornwall during his well-known “lost years.”

In E. Raymond Capt’s marvelous book The Traditions of Glastonbury, he states: “The first converts of the Culdees... were the Druids of Britain, who found no difficulty in reconciling the teaching of the Culdees with their own teaching of the resurrection and the inheritance of eternal life.” In addition, the Druids had long believed in the coming of a messiah - a messiah named “Jesu.” They also shared the Chaldean preoccupation with sacred geometry and astronomy.

If the foregoing statements are indeed accurate, it would appear that there was the presence of a Templar-like fraternity in England for a full thousand years before the advent of the Knights Templar. And not just in England, but throughout the British Isles. The Culdees had commandaries, schools and churches in Wales, Ireland and Scotland as well. It is said that despite pressure from Rome, the Culdees remained a very strong presence right up to the time of the Norman conquest which began in 1066.

The timeframe here seems highly significant, as 1066 is only a few decades before the founding of the Order of Sion and the Knights Templar by Godfroi de Bouillon in 1090.

Is it purely coincidental that an organization whose history spans over a thousand years should essentially vanish, and in a matter of mere decade a group whose outlook seems nearly identical should emerge in another part of the world? Most of what the historians assert about the Culdees is incredibly similar to what was said of the Templars.

Let us compare: both groups were said to possess a secret doctrine which they concealed behind the facade of Christianity. Both groups denied Christ in a sense. Both groups were architects. And both groups were associated with the Holy Grail, as well as with Solomon’s Temple.

There definitely seems to be a continuity of belief, purpose and action between the two groups. Certainly the mystery surrounding both groups appears to be the same mystery. But if these two groups represent different manifestations of the same esoteric tradition, it is not simply a tradition whose origin came about after the crucifixion of Christ. The tradition can clearly be traced to the Chaldean King Gudia, and further still to his role model and patron saint, Nimrod/Cain.

Sauniere’s enigmatic relief map corresponds to the Holy Land, which initially lead us to speculate that he was creating a “new Jerusalem” in the south of France, as other researchers have suggested. On what grounds would this obscure locale qualify for the status of being a new Holy Land?

What if Sauniere’s strange relief map was not, as is generally assumed, merely a bizarre attempt to proclaim a New Jerusalem? What if it constituted quite the inverse? Could it be possible that what Sauniere was attempting to communicate was that certain secrets and traditions historically considered to be connected to Jerusalem may have in fact had their origin here?

We have already mentioned the seeming connection between that name of Pyrrha, the heroine of the Greek flood myth, and the Pyrenees mountain range. We have mentioned the idea that the Flood goddess may have been buried beneath one of these mountains. And we have mentioned the apparent identity of the words “Pyrenees” and “Parnassus”, which would seem to suggest that one of the mountains within this range running through southern France may have been the actual resting place for the ark of Deucalion, the Greek Noah.

This is much the same idea subscribed to by modern followers of the “sleeping prophet” Edgar Cayce. One of Mr. Cayce’s proclamations was that Atlanteans fleeing the destruction of their homeland by flood escaped in boats, and eventually landed in the Pyrenees.

Returning to sources of a more historical nature, there are a number of alternative traditions in which the Ark lands in places other than Ararat. In several of these traditions, the place of the Ark’s repose is called “Kardo”, or “Kardu.”

This accords with a passing comment made by Ignatius Donnelly in Atlantis: The Antediluvian World, where he writes:

The Romans and the Persians called the line of the axis of the globe Cardo, and it was to cardo the needle pointed. Now ‘Cardo was the name of the mountain on which the human race took refuge from the Deluge... the primitive geographic point for the countries which were the cradle of the human race.’ From this comes our word ‘cardinal’, as in the cardinal points.”

There does exist, however, a mountain whose name indeed sounds incredibly similar: the previously mentioned mountain of Cardou near Rennes-le-Chateau. It is the highest peak in the region, and is even featured prominently in Poussin’s The Shepherds of Arcadia.

Cardou has been suggested by the authors of The Tomb of God to be the final resting place of Christ. And certain documents published by the Priory of Sion, some written by Pierre Plantard himself, suggest that something called “the Roseline” runs through Mt. Cardou - something which they insinuate was once the “prime meridian line” of the ancient world. If the Ark did indeed come to rest here, that would explain why such a point would have become “Ground Zero” for their measurement of the new, post-diluvian Earth.

This idea receives further support from yet another Priory document, the previously-mentioned poem Le Serpent Rouge. The setting of the poem clearly takes place in Rennes-le-Chateau, and the main character is a mysterious “friend” whom the author describes as “...like the pilot of the everlasting Ark of Noah...” As the poem continues, it makes two mysterious references to “the line of the Meridian” (the “Roseline”).

This new take on the Flood myth begins to crystallize when we examine more fully The Book of the Cave of Treasures. It is highly unusual that a Christian text such as this should purport to chronicle an alternate landing place for the Ark, but there is much that is unusual to be found in this obscure apocryphal tome.

For all intents and purposes, The Book of the Cave of Treasures is a retelling of the biblical narrative, starting with Creation and ending with the Resurrection of Christ. It seems to have been intended as a genealogy, as indicated by its other title, The Book of the Order of the Succession of Families from Adam to Christ. More so than any other chronicle, it deals extensively with that mythic and enigmatic site known as “the Cave of Treasures”, a place purported to be a necropolis containing the bodies of the Biblical patriarchs.

It seems that the cave in which God is “making [them] dwell” is within “the regions of Paradise.” It would appear to indicate that these regions of Paradise are situated “in the center of the earth.”

The text is unequivocally stating that Adam’s descendants lived inside that mountain. Not on it, but in it. These people were often thought to be gods. The passage just quoted referred to those who dwelt in the mountain as “the sons of God.” This is the term, as we know, that was used to designate the Watchers.

Another idea closely tied to this “holy mountain” concept is that of the “center of the Earth.” The references to Adam’s body being deposited in the center of the Earth are uniformly specific. Not once does such a reference say “at” the center of the earth, but always “in.” The kingdom of Agartha was said to be in the center of the Earth. The tombs of Hermes, Osiris, Kronos, and Christian Rosenkreutz were said to be in the center of the Earth. So too, the sacred World Mountain, the Tree of Life, the Black Sun, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Emerald Tablet, and so forth.

Even following the death and burial of Adam, the paradoxical tenor of The Book of the Cave of Treasures continues unabated. It is said that his progeny “... suffered neither toil, nor fatigue, they had neither seed nor harvest, but they fed themselves with the delectable fruits of glorious trees of all kinds...” Does this language not sound identical to that used to describe the biblical Eden?

There are repeated references in the text which seem to indicate that the dwelling place within the mountain may have resided deep within its recesses. If this is true, the Cave of Treasures might possibly constitute an intricate subterranean complex not unlike those underground cities found at Kaymalki and Derinkuyu. It has been said that Rennes-le-Chateau (and indeed the region surrounding it) is “honeycombed” with caves and underground passages.

As with other versions of the biblical narrative, the coming of a great flood is foretold in The Book of the Cave of Treasures, albeit with a number of differences. Noah’s father Methuselah, laying on his deathbed, instructs his son to take the body of Adam along on the Ark.

The book’s description of Noah and his entourage descend to enter the Ark sounds more befitting a man being expelled from Paradise than one being saved from immanent annihilation.

This site that Noah is abandoning is referred to as “holy” no less than four times in a single page, and at one point, twice in a single sentence. It is referred to as a “holy place”, a “holy mountain”, and even “holy Paradise.” We have already suggested the thesis that the Flood and the expulsion from Paradise might in fact be one and the same event.

Before his death, Methuselah told his son Noah that when at last the flood waters had subsided, and the Ark had come to rest, he should instruct his firstborn to take the body of Adam and deposit it “in the center of the earth.” In literally every other reference to the center of the Earth, it is unambiguously identified with the Cave of Treasures. Both episodes would appear to foretell much the same thing: that Adam's body would be brought back to the Cave of Treasures after the Flood.

The moment the door of the Ark is sealed, the floodgates of the heavens are opened. As the text states: “and the foundations of the earth were rent asunder... And the Ark flew about for one hundred and fifty days, and it came to rest on the mountains of Kardo.”

Consequently, when we encountered a mountain in The Book of the Cave of Treasures (Mount Kardo) which sounded nearly identical to the one found in Rennes-le-Chateau (Mount Cardou), we naturally felt that the circumstance merited further investigation.

Ordinarily, a place-name that sounds like another, in and of itself, wouldn’t seem to be of much significance. But this particular place-name is attached to a mountain peak which dominates a landscape steeped in mystery: A place associated with a hidden treasure. A place said to conceals the tomb of “an ancient sacred king.” A place, moreover, already associated with alternate traditions concerning the Flood and the Ark.

More clues found in The Book of the Cave of Treasures that are relevant to Rennes-le-Chateau involve what supposedly occurred in the period pursuant to the Flood. As per the instructions of Methuselah, Noah tells his firstborn, Shem:

“When I am dead, go into the Ark, wherein thou hast been saved, and bring out the body of our father Adam... and place it in the center of the earth... and let no man have knowledge of what thou doest... take heed that this story is never mentioned again in all your generations...”

Perhaps Noah’s warning about secrecy was intended to vouchsafe the location of the Cave of Treasures, which is synonymous with the center of the Earth.

What is most interesting about this story is that the symbolism is identical to that contained in an episode of Grail lore set in the Languedoc region of France. We are talking about the previously-mentioned tale of Montsegur, in which a dove descends from the heavens, the top of the mountain opens up, and the bird drops the Grail stone into the center of the mountain. These two stories seem to constitute variations on a theme - a theme that would appear to symbolically connect the story of Adam both to the Grail and to this region in the south of France.

There is yet another salient detail central to Adam’s burial which may link this story to the Languedoc. The place where he was buried was thereafter called “Golgotha” (“the Place of the Skull”), because “the head of all the children of men was deposited there.” Of course, the location of Christ’s crucifixion in the Holy Land is called “Golgotha.”

Let us recap: Sauniere makes a three-dimensional map, representing Rennes-le-Chateau, but depicting within it a location called “Golgotha.” His altar piece shows a cave, a skull, and the Tree of Life, all associated with Golgotha and the Cave of Treasures. The altar piece conceals the same pentagonal geometry linked to the landscape of Rennes-le-Chateau, and furthermore, that key shapes within it correspond to Sauniere’s map. We can only conclude, therefore, that the symbolism encoded in the Magdalen painting, and that contained in the map, both tell one aspect of a larger story, and that each must be viewed in conjunction with the other for the full picture to emerge. What clearly seems to emerge is this: the altar painting is emblematic of the Cave of Treasures, and the map represents Rennes-le-Chateau, while relating it to the idea of the Holy Land. As the two pieces were obviously intended to reflect one another, Sauniere’s message to us would appear to be that somewhere in the vicinity of his small parish the legendary Cave of Treasures is hidden, waiting to be discovered.

The above-cited examples, when taken together, cause one to associate Rennes-le-Chateau with Golgotha, and therefore the Cave of Treasures. Could this really constitute Berenger Sauniere’s great secret: that the Cave of Treasures can be found at Rennes-le-Chateau?

It is our belief that the Cave of Treasures is a real place, and that it lies hidden deep beneath Rennes-le-Chateau, or someplace nearby.

If you travel around the edges of Europe from the north to the west and from the west to the south, you will encounter towns that seem to have Mesopotamian place-names. You will encounter peoples and cultures whose folkways differ from those of the nations in which they exist. All of this is very consistent with our primary thesis: that there are certain locales in Europe which retain vestiges of Sumer-Atlantean origins. Or, perhaps rather, that these places were once outposts of the Atlantean empire.

In Rennes-le-Chateau there are names which seem to specifically link the region to both Sumer and the Grail. “Mount Cardou” can easily translate in Sumerian to “Mountain of the Vessel of God.” The “Vessel of God” concept embodies the Grail as both a sacred bloodline and a secret doctrine. It represents both the bloodline of the deified kings of the antediluvian world and the Gnosis they preserved - vestiges of the Golden Age.

As a doctrine or idea, the Vessel of God is undoubtedly bound up with the science which constituted the secret Gnosis of the Watchers the sacred geometry that is a reflection (or emanation) of the divine. It is the Grail as a symbol of the elemental divine harmony according to which all things are ordered, but from which man has fallen

The word “religion” comes from “religio”, which means “going back to the source.” No more apt words could be found to describe the quest for the Grail: a return to the source; a rediscovery of the ancient principles which once served as the axis mundi of man’s life, and by which his perceptions, thoughts and deeds were defined; a rediscovery of principles believed to possess the power to bring man into accord with the mind of God. For the last few millennia (or more), man has been incapable of “going back to the source.”

The cave may house a vast necropolis containing the bodies of mankind’s earliest kings - men who were the prototypes of our ancestors’ gods. It may hold an archive or library of information, the knowledge of which could lead to a complete rethinking of the history of our planet, and who we are as a species. It goes without saying that the ancient “mysteries of the Church” said to be secreted away there probably have little to do with orthodox religion. The rediscovery of the primordial faith of mankind could very well be the greatest treasure of all: a tangible means of “going back to the source.”

So where is the entrance to the Cave of Treasures? We may know the answer. Very early on in the course of our investigation, we stumbled upon what seemed like the solution to one of the central mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau: “the 22 code.”

There seem to be just as many tales of dragons that present them as friendly creatures who serve as healers and teachers as there are references as there are those that present them as evil.

What was the reason that the Book of Genesis chose to demonize them? Again it seems to be the same “trinity” – Enki and the Serpents of Wisdom who come to the assistance of humankind; Enlil/Jehovah, the lawgiver who demands strict obedience; and the Nephilim – the true demons (the progenitors of the Illuminati).

According to the Book of Revelations, the dragon represents evil and the great Satan, which persecutes Israel and the Christian Church. It is referred to as the “great red dragon” with seven heads and ten horns and a long tail.”

If orthodox religions were created by the Illuminati (Satan), does this mean that the Red Dragon represents Enki, the Serpent of Wisdom”?

The notion of the serpent as evil is a fairly recent one, for it is one that has evolved during the early Christian era. In actuality, the Biblical serpent is often connected with godly knowledge, healing and immortality. The Hebrew word for the creature who tempted Eve is hahash which is usually translated as a serpent, but means literally “he who knows the secrets.”

It was the Book of Genesis that ordained an eternal enmity between reptiles and humans, and the dragon/serpent became the symbol of temptation and evil. In recalling other legends of the dragon’s destructiveness, humans were provided with ample excuse to seek out and kill every “dragon” in the land. “Dragons” which had been sacred and objects of veneration in Greek and Roman homes and oracles soon disappeared, and were no longer available for transmitting their wisdom.

Many of the angels of the Old Testament were winged, especially the Cherubim (singular Cherub) and the Seraphim (singular Seraph). In fact the best known of the dragons of the scriptures is the one found in the Book of Revelation where the dragon represents evil and the great Satan, which persecutes Israel and the Christina Church. It is referred to as the “great red dragon” with seven heads and ten horns and a long tail.” According to this book, man would worship the dragon just before the end of the World.

In the Old Testament explicit references to our serpent-god ancestors have been all but eliminated over the centuries through a long process of selection and editing. When allusions to winged serpents are found, they are usually interpreted as merely allegorical.

The Hebrew word Seraph is an unusual one and appears only a few times in the books of the Old Testament. In the Book of Isaiah the Seraph is referred to as me ofef seraph or literally “flying serpent. It is associated with the Philistines and the Negeb, lands which were traditionally the home of the so-called serpent people, the descendants of the Nefilim after the Deluge.

What is so clear in the religious accounts other than Genesis, is the dominance of the female image, the “mother of all living” as was said of Eve. The symbolism of the mother goddess as representing fertility and the mother Earth is completely missing form Genesis and may have been deliberately eliminated.

Early Christian and Hebrew writings reveal that there were other inhabitants of the Garden of Eden. In the Gnostic view of the creation of Adam, the original occupant of the garden was Sophia who gave the “breath of life” to Adam and the provided her daughter Zoe as a wife to Adam.

In the early rabbinical comments of the Torah, as they are found in the Midrash, the original denizen of Eden was Lilith, and Adam was created to be her mate. She rejected Adam mainly because she would not assume a subordinate or recumbent position in sexual intercourse. She left the Garden of Eden and only then was Eve created as a mate.

The roots of the term Seraphim may well be in Mesopotamia. The flying or fiery serpent atop the pole worshiped for its healing properties symbolically represents Enki, the Sumerian God of healing, who is often represented by the serpent or snake symbol.

The serpent people or Nagas of ancient Sanskrit sources who are said to have inhabited the mountains of India and Tibet were called sarpa. The theosophist H.P. Blavasky published a comprehensive study of these ancient people in her remarkable work The Secret Doctrine. She asserts that the "nagas” or “sarpa” of India are “unquestionably the Jewish Seraphim of the Old Testament as derived from the term serapi meaning “serpent.”

The ancient Book of Dzyan, probably the oldest of Sanskrit sources, speaks of a serpent race which descended from the skies and taught mankind. The recovery of this ancient source from obscurity was accomplished by the theosophist, Madame H.P. Blatatsky, who spent three years in Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim.

According to this book, the Sarpa or Great Dragons were the Fifth Race to inhabit the world. The Fourth Race was a race of giants who had lived before the Deluge but were wiped out by that catastrophe. The book related how the serpent gods or dragons re-descended after the Deluge and instructed man in the arts of civilization. These serpent-gods had a human face and the tail of a dragon; they founded divine dynasties on Earth and are believed to be the ancestors of our current civilization, the Fifth Race of of the Book of Dzyan. The leader of these gods was called “The Great Dragon.”

The Dravidians or Nagas were said to be the result of the sexual liaison between serpent-gods and mankind. They were described as a coarse, cannibalistic people, dark-skinned and flat –nosed. They were known for their wisdom and lived underground in caves. These Nagas were described in many of the Sanskrit sources as an intelligent reptile that could fly around the skies in their chariots. The Aryans who came later, ran into the remnants of these serpent people who are vividly described in one of their classical myths:

Near Bhogavata stands the palace whre dwelt the hosts of the serpent race, a broad-wayed city, walled and barred which watchful legions keep and guard. The fiercest of the serpent youth, each awful for his venomed tooth; and throned in his imperial hall is Vasuki who rules them all.

One of the great epics of India, the Ramayana, is the story of Sita, the bride of a northern Prince called Rama, who is abducted by Ravan, the serpent king of Ceylon. Throughout the story Ravan is described in barbaric terms more suitable for a reptile than a mammal – he “feeds on humans” and “drinks the blood of his foe.” He is formidable in battle and almost defeats Rama when he uses his special Naga weapon which seems to paralyze his enemies and drain their life force (poisonous venom?)
